I've been working on weight loss and metabolism increase for some time now, however I've only recently (within the last week) started to increase my water intake. Before I drank very little water and quite a bit of coffee. I now have a 16 oz water bottle at work that I drink twice over the course of the day (Not all at once, of course). I've been doing this for about a week.

I apologize, this next part is going to get a bit graphic and descriptive about bathroom habits - but I figured this was the best place to ask as I'm sure I'm not alone.

(You've been warned).

Now, I know that increasing water intake can cause you to pee excessively for some time since your body is not used to all the extra liquid. However, I was not aware that increasing water also increased bowel movements.

I used to go once a day around 1:30pm, but now I find myself going a few times a day - usually the first is normal, but after that I get some watery-ness. I've increased my fiber intake in the morning and I snack a little during the day (apple or banana mid-afternoon). I'm aware BMs can be different for everyone, but I was curious if this increase is something I'll have to get used to, or if like urinating; it will go for awhile until my body 'adjusts'?
